Those tools already have some expertise in that area. Yeah, they may have some difficulties with InterSystems IRIS, may not understand some of the features of InterSystems SQL language, and so on. DBeaver, for instance, is an open-source project and can be improved by anybody. 

But I'm not sure that it's a good idea to invest so much time in implementing something, which already available and in some cases for free.

Having too many tools out of the box, not so good idea, it will not mean that all of those tools will have enough quality. 

So, in this case, I would focus development on improving existing tools, in better support for InterSystems products. It will take less time, with a bigger profit (at least InterSystems will be noticeable not only for current InterSystems users).

I fully support you.
Out of tradition, there is a tendency to implement already existing solutions though  better
and well-positioned on the markets. 
@Dmitry Maslennikov :
- you might remember times when even a webserver was written inside Caché
- or various text editors, source manager packages, and ..., and ... and ...
JUST because it was possible.

Decades back you had your globals and your language and not even an OS below.
But this was in previous millenium. This time is definitely over.

 

A dashboard for monitoring when SAM or a third party tool is not available.
Make sure there is the ability to add custom elements for the application and to select what elements are displayed to a user.
Also provide access to screens such as locks and processes with granular control over what they are able to do.

Essentially you don't want such users to have full management portal access just selected screens which are useful fronted by a monitor/dashboard that allows them to keep an eye on the database and application.
